retroed Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Posted in latest purchases, but I'm going to stick it here to add to the hype. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Pilotwings is in the post from Zavvi, hey just realised that was the really cheap copy I used that code for, win! Might mean I won't be picking any games up from Gamestation at all! Is Ghost Recon also arrives from Shopto, which I am confident it will, I might not bother with SF right now. 2 is plenty to be getting on with. EDIT: HYPED!!!!

retroed Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think I'm going to pick up Lego Star Wars III when I get my 3DS on Friday. <a title="Gamereactor" href="http://www.gamereactor.es/"><object width="308" height="512"><param name="movie" value="http://www.gamereactor.es/grtv/embed/gamereactor.swf?file=http://www.gamereactor.es/grtv/embed/sliderlist.php?id=10588"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.gamereactor.es/grtv/embed/gamereactor.swf" height="308" width="512" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="file=http://www.gamereactor.es/grtv/embed/sliderlist.php?id=10588"/></object></a> I want Ghost Recon, too. I'm really impressed with the launch line-up. Of course, I haven't played any of them yet, but there's a load I want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I can't seem to work out, is it graphically better than the wii or cube?? or inferior, or am i looking at this wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I don't know, I guess it's on a par with the Wii version? I just like the Lego games on handhelds, loved Lego Indy on the DS and fancy a third-person action game on 3DS. You can tell by the video that it's trying to show off the 3D too, with things being thrown out of the screen and things happening in the foreground.

hinn888 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 On the eve of its release, it's been announced that UK pre-orders for Nintendo's 3DS have more than doubled those of the Wii console that launched to so much success back in 2006.It had already been revealed last week that the glasses-free, 3D handheld had set the pre-order record for a new console at Amazon UK. Nintendo UK's David Yarnton said that he anticipates this Friday will see more 3DS systems being sold to consumers than there were 3D televisions for the whole of 2010.

Manicm Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sorry, i meant the console as a unit, the ngp or whatever sony call it is going to be (they reckon) a ps3 in your hands, just wondered where the 3ds sat compared to the wii and ds etc.. I miss the old days, 8-bit consoles then 16-bit consoles, things were easier back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ah, I misunderstood your post! I'd still say it's similar to the Wii, though. Maybe even slightly sharper looking due to the smaller size of the screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 as i understand it the 3DS is less powerful, but the improved chipset lets it handle lighting and texture filtering better (or something like that. So it can't push as many polies, but what it does looks better/as good. Helped by the resolution too I'd imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I've heard 3DS games are going to be £39.99 in store at GAME. Crazy if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Apparently there'll be some games on offer for £25 in GAME when you buy them with the system. I don't think Pilotwings or SSFIV will be part of that offer, though. I've got £60 on a Gamestation card, potential £33 on an HMV card (if I trade in DKCR for £29), and thirty quid cash, so I'll be looking around for the best prices on Lego Star Wars III and Ghost Recon once I've picked up my 3DS in Toys R Us. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ed, we could always do a swap? I have Ghost Recon sitting right here already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ed, we could always do a swap? I have Ghost Recon sitting right here already Don't know how people feel but im up for some kind of swap later on, depends on whether we all get the same games or not I suppose...

DANGERMAN Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm thinking about doing a round up of the games on the podcast, so would need a few of you to have played a range of the games. That's going to take too long to do properly, so what im saying is, if you all buy different games then post about them it'll help me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
